A

Since The equation is


a(n)\text{ = 4n-20}

To find its inverse we have to proceed to some steps

a= 4n-20

1) Swap a for n, in this case,

n=4a-20

2) Isolate n on the left side by subtracting 4a on both sides:

n -4a =4a-4a -20

n-4a=-20

3) Subtract n on both sides

a-a-4n =-20-a

-4n=-20 -a

4) Multiply it by -1

4n = 20 + a

5) Divide by 4, there you have it. The inverse function:


n(a)=(20+a)/(4)

To find its in
